Do I look like someone who has something to do here on earth?' —That's what I'd like to answer the busybodies who inquire into my activities.

Those who believe in their truth -- the only ones whose imprint is retained by the memory of men -- leave the earth behind them strewn with corpses. Religions number in their ledgers more murders than the bloodiest tyrannies account for, and those whom humanity has called divine far surpass the most conscientious murderers in their thirst for slaughter.

the deepest subjective experiences are also the most universal, because through them one reaches the universal source of life.

The true hero fights and dies in the name of his destiny, and not in the name of a belief.

No one should forget: Eros alone can fulfill life; knowledge, never. Only Eros makes sense; knowledge is empty infinity; – for thoughts, there is always time; life has its time; there is no thought that comes too late; any desire can become a regret.

It is not worth the bother of killing yourself, since you always kill yourself too late.

I have decided not to oppose anyone ever again, since I have noticed that I always end by resembling my latest enemy.
